I’m sitting on a train reading that and it must have been a weird look for other passengers as I was constantly grimacing! I may have verbally exclaimed a few times as well!

Being pedantic about CSAM was entirely unnecessary.

Direct your energy to more productive outlets

The operative word is “suggests”.

Just like I would “suggest” that instead of being pedantic about child abuse, you go have a wash, go outside and get some sunlight on your skin.

Please don’t use the phrase “CP” but instead the correct term ‘CSAM’.

‘Porn’ suggests consent

More recently there’s a mayor of some town (in Texas, iirc Kansas) that’s facing deportation and multiple felony charges for voting in elections as a non-citizen.

I’ll link to the story posted on lemmy if I can find it!

As they say

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

ai can be good as long as you don’t let it think for you

Unfortunately, there’s too many people already doing that, with not so clever results!

If it increases accessibility for those with additional requirements then great but we know that’s not even in its top 10 reasons for being implemented

It’s beyond that. It’s surveillance software

You forgot the Bill “now the largest owner of arable land in the US” Gates

There are some that still give Israel the benefit of the doubt and showing that a humanitarian flotilla trying to deliver aid are kidnapped in international waters, strips away that.

Israel has, and will always be a piece of shit and definitely revel in it, but those who stand on the sidelines with their “two sides” arguments are now shown that they are morally complicit

So the deal is that Palestinian hostages will be released but with no press, no fanfare, nothing but Israeli ones are the opposite and guess what the complicit western media will be filling their pages with?

It’s usually preceded by some storming of beaches, marching across the region before holding trials and hanging people.

You youngsters always want to skip to the end when there’s plenty of killing fascists along the way!

don’t handle well The pedal assist on the lime bikes in London are notorious for kicking in at inappropriate times and causing riders to lose control.

Doctors in A&E use the term ‘Lime bike leg’ for the crush injuries they see because the bikes weigh nearly 30kg and are akin to motorbike crash injuries.

This is compounded by the level of riding and handling skills of those who use those bikes being almost non-existent. My own experience of those riders is that they never shoulder check before moving into a space, just a cursory glance to the floor next to them. They frequently dump them in places where they block pavements and make accessibility for those needing it most, a lot harder.

Thoughts & prayers for the brick

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Roald Dahl, The Twits

I wouldn’t murder anyone but I’m certainty not going to be upset when a shit gibbon gets his neck blown out.

You sound like the kind of person that if someone was getting attacked in the street, you would grab their arms to stop them defending themselves while saying to them that they need to be the better person.

I would happily kick you in the face if that were ever the case

And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems.

You’re just projecting here.

I merely pointed out that everything is politics and yet you respond with yet more bleating.

and their pet issues

And you respond further by shoving your head further up your own arse.

Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.

Are you trying to make yourself out as the victim here?

What a fucking crybaby!

Every successive British govt had been too pig-headed to walk back any of their decisions

When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing?

When I see comments like this, it makes 2 things plainly obvious:

1. The commentor is naive and doesn’t understand that fundamentally ‘politics’ is the power dynamic in every relationship, be that between people, groups or with structures or things such as food.

It is in everything and connects everything. It defines your relationship and how you interact with the world and it’s relationship to, and interaction with you.

2. The commentor has enough privilege that they don’t have to worry about politics/power structures on a daily basis.

Some people can’t see the wood for the trees

And it’s about 10 years too late.

It’s about 5 years ago that they deleted comments from anyone saying “fuck the 5 mods”
